Directions: | Preheat oven to 450F. Put the butter in the freezer. Mix both flour + tapioca starch + sugar + baking powder & soda + salt + xantham gum in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the dry ingredients using a box grater. Toss the butter with the flour mixture using a fork or your hands. In a measuring cup mix together the milk + lemon juice and pour into the flour mixture. Mix in the fruit and stir together with a wooden spoon until a lumpy dough forms. Dust the work surface with brown rice flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead a few times until the dough comes together. Press out into a 1-inch thick circle. Using a bench knife, cut into 8 equal triangle shaped wedges. Transfer the scones onto a sheet pan lined with parchment or silicon. Brush the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, and allow to cool for 15 minutes before enjoying. |
